What are the chances of getting hiv if you mistakenly pick your self with an insulin injection of an hiv positive person?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Chances are less than 1%. You should report any needle stick and wash off immediately. A tetanus toxoid booster is needed if you have a skin puncture or cut.
